I’m not saying Bose is good at all and would never advise anyone of my friends to buy Bose. Think about this though. Bose is small, easy to set up with 2 year old controls to operate it so that any ADULT can operate it. Most people are more impressed with speakers that are small and sound like they’re large....or…

The problem is not with audiophiles, how much money you spend or better than you scenario. The issue is people...consumers...are told their 399.00 system is every bit as good as the 3999.99 system. Bose claims that there stereo satellite system with a subwoofer gives you surround sound that “rivals more complicated 5 speaker systems”. People who dont make it their…

Mr. Audio - i think it’s fair to say audiophiles have always been a fairly small niche… but to call them a dying breed is a bit premature. i would rephrase that to say because so many more people buying stereos/portable players/home theaters, “true audiophiles” may now be a smaller percentage of the market than they once were. it comes…

Argh...you said the “B” Word. Not good advise...really. For the person who may be actually trying to get something useful out of this, stay away from Bose or any “Home Theater in a Box”. These systems are as close to a PC Speaker System as you can get. Spend the time to research systems from Company’s like Klipsch who have…

I’m sorry, I got you confused with the other guy, dm. Of course you’re not new at this. Amen to your last post. It’s sad but true that audiophiles are becoming a dying breed. Apparently, most people don’t care about what music sounds like, but care only that they can hear it. One of my friends has a HTIB (a…

It isn’t true that you bought the lifetime subscription on the box, not the tivo service. Way back when I bought my lifetime, it was on any and every box you would purchase after that. So I bought a Tivo and the lifetime. A year later I bought Tivo, and it was covered by my lifetime subscription. I didn’t have…

New...no. I have been into sound systems since my first stereo that I bought from Lafayette Radio Electronics and my Speakers from Electrovoice. I moved to a quad system with a TEAC 4 track player ... for those of us who go that far back, that was the first surround sound system for Consumers. I have mixed sound for live…

Neither of these rooms qualify as a home theatre
